Im writing my essay!.!.!.!. i have plenty of information!.!. but I cant find anywhere where it says what the aims of the hospice movement are!.!.!. I know it starts with "The act of total care!.!.!.!.!."

& if anyone can help me work out the difference between the hospice movement & palliative care!.!. id be grateful!! (it just seems to jump from one to the other in my course work!!)Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Well, palliative care is a definite treatment with definite goals in regards to treating symptoms of a disease or illness!. There is a definite start and stop for the treatment regimine!. Hospice, on the other hand, is more in line with providing comfort and ease for terminal cases!. Hospices may use palliative care, but the overall idea is not limited to relieving pain or discomfort of the symptoms!.

Kind of splitting hairs, but palliative care is a method, where as Hospice is more of a philosophy of care!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
